Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Exits Thursday's game early
Torres was removed from Thursday's game against the Guardians in the fourth inning, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Jorbit Vivas 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Slugs first homer in victory
Vivas went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in two plate appearances during Thursday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.
Vivas picked a good time for his first home run of the season, scoring the only run of the game off of Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi. Vivas also reached base on catcher's interference as part of a perfect day at the plate before being replaced by DJ LeMahieu in the seventh inning. The 24-year-old Vivas will look to use this game to get going offensively, as he is hitting just .182 through 36 plate appearances for the season.

Gabriel Arias SS | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Taking seat Thursday
Arias isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Detroit.

Luis Urias 2B | ATH
Athletics' Luis Urias: Getting afternoon off
Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.
Max Schuemann will get the nod at the keystone Thursday, but Urias had manned second base in each of the last six games and still appears to be the Athletics' preferred option at the position while Zack Gelof (wrist/rib) remains on the injured list. Since moving into an everyday role in late April, Urias has slashed .272/.358/.457 with five home runs and one stolen base in 28 games.

Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Likely to require rehab stint
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Tuesday that Gimenez (quadricep) is likely to require a minor-league rehab assignment before returning from the 10-day injured list, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Since suffering a right quad strain and landing on the shelf May 9, Gimenez seems to be making good progress in his recovery. He resumed baseball activities Tuesday and was spotted taking part in running drills and doing some light fielding and throwing work Wednesday, according to Nicholson-Smith. The Blue Jays will likely reassess Gimenez on Thursday before determining whether he'll be ready to begin what's expected to be a brief rehab assignment this weekend.

DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY
Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Out of Yankees' lineup
LeMahieu is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rangers.
LeMahieu has been the Yankees' primary second baseman since returning from the 10-day injured list last week, but he'll get a breather for Thursday's series finale. Jorbit Vivas is covering the keystone and Oswald Peraza is at the hot corner.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Slugs fourth homer
Sosa went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Mariners.
Sosa has been in a timeshare arrangement at second base with Josh Rojas for the last week, starting only three of the last seven games. However, Sosa has been in the lineup for the last two contests and went 3-for-7 with a double and a homer. He now has four home runs on the season while hitting .272 across 167 plate appearances.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Hits in eight of last nine games
Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Astros.
Lowe is in the midst of an impressive stretch at the plate, as he has at least one hit in eight of his last nine appearances. He's gone 12-for-33 with three home runs, seven RBI and seven runs scored in that span. Despite the hot stretch, Lowe still has a disappointing .159 ISO and .382 slugging percentage across 185 plate appearances on the season.

Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL
Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Blasts first homer
Dubon went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Rays.
Dubon started for only the seventh time across 19 games in May and managed his first home run of the season Wednesday. He's gone 8-for-23 on the month but is still losing out on playing time to Jose Altuve and Brendan Rodgers.
